Supreme Court of Delaware

DeBruce v. State

August 29, 2019

Summary

The Court affirmed an eleven-month Level V sentence imposed for DeBruce’s second violation of probation. It held that the prior remand limited correction of the earlier illegal sentence and did not cap the sentence available at the later violation hearing; after a violation was proven, the Superior Court could impose up to the remaining Level V balance, which was twelve months. No separate opinions were filed.
